Public bug reported:
The ethernet port on the Marvell dove board randomly changes its MAC
address; the MAC address remains consistant during run times but can
change between restarts. Here's the leases from the DHCP server:
lease 192.168.1.124 {
starts 3 2009/09/23 04:33:30;
ends 3 2009/09/23 04:43:30;
binding state active;
next binding state free;
hardware ethernet 00:50:43:6e:0d:1c;
client-hostname "twilight";
}
lease 192.168.1.125 {
starts 3 2009/09/23 04:23:47;
ends 3 2009/09/23 04:33:47;
tstp 3 2009/09/23 04:33:47;
binding state free;
hardware ethernet 00:50:43:3b:3b:01;
}
lease 192.168.1.122 {
starts 3 2009/09/23 05:32:01;
ends 3 2009/09/23 05:42:01;
tstp 3 2009/09/23 05:42:01;
binding state free;
hardware ethernet 00:50:43:22:32:15;
}
lease 192.168.1.120 {
starts 3 2009/09/23 05:43:01;
ends 3 2009/09/23 05:53:01;
binding state active;
next binding state free;
hardware ethernet 00:50:43:50:02:28;
client-hostname "twilight";
}
As an addition note, the changes in MAC address seem to collegiate with a
change in the ethX device. The first lease was taken when the board said its
ethernet device was eth3, the second was taken when it was eth7. The third was
8 or 9 (I forgot to note it), and the fourth was 10th. As an addition data
point, u-boot says:
ethaddr=00:50:43:4c:1a:2a
It also has yuk_ethaddr=00:00:00:EE:51:81 set.
I'm unsure what, if any affect these may have on how the MAC comes up.
